- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Georgia Secretary of State - 2010 Primary Election Results
- ↑ Even though Gail Buckner received the most votes, she failed to receive over fifty percent of those votes required by Georgia state law. A runoff election between the top two vote recipients, therefore, was required to decide who went on to the general election.
